Kaia is an Asian Pacific restaurant inside The Ned at 27 Poultry in the City of London. Its open kitchen and counter seating place guests close to the preparation, adding a lively atmosphere to the colourful dishes. The restaurant’s emphasis on tropical inspiration and health conscious cooking offers a lighter contrast to the grandeur of the historic former banking hall.
Poke bowls, sushi and food cooked over the Robata grill form the core of the menu. Fresh vegetables, rice, seafood and grilled ingredients are combined with bright sauces, herbs and carefully judged seasoning. Diners can choose a composed bowl or assemble a broader meal from raw preparations, small dishes and substantial grilled options.
The sushi selection brings precision and freshness to the menu, while the grill introduces smoke and warmth to meat, fish and vegetables. Desserts and drinks continue the restaurant’s colourful, tropical character. Menus at The Ned are refreshed regularly, allowing Kaia to introduce seasonal ideas while retaining its focus on balanced Asian Pacific flavours.
A dedicated Saturday brunch expands the experience with starters for the table, a choice of main course and shared desserts, with drinks packages also available. At other times, the counter service format suits both quick City meals and relaxed social dining. Kaia combines a polished hotel setting with an approachable menu designed for flexible ordering.
